How many here are actual backyarders vs. Farmers?

[memiller123]

Both....we farm: hay, cattle. We backyard: chickens.

 

[enjoyin' my chickens]

Backyarder even though the chickens are technically in the side yard.

 

[Kelly's Chickens]

I'm a backyarder on 3 acres in the country. My dream is to be a small-scale farmer and much more self-sufficient than I am right now.

 

[chicklover16]

I'm a backyarder

 

[eenie114]

We're 'farmers', but it's a hobby farm and the chickens very rarely leave the backyard.

 

[sunny & the 5 egg layers]

I am a backyarder on a little over 1 acre...we have chickens and a garden. But someday I hope to be a real farmer and live in the country.

I am a backyarder inside the city limit. I am located in a sub-division. I have about 20 hens.

I really want some acreage where I can see any other houses, or I want an apartment in downtown Seattle.

Backyarder in farm country.

;o)

We have a rooster and a hen, Egyptian Feroumis, that are on the endangered list and are rare that we'd like to breed. So far, they don't seem interested. Maybe next year.

I'm in the willywags, but definitely backyard! I have neighbors (or will when one neighbor house sells).

 

[Mrs. Fluffy Puffy]

Farmer (actualy Rancher...

) We live on about 2,000 acres out in the Texas Panhandle. It's very private, the closest neighbor is about 3-4 miles away. You cannot see their house for our house...no way!

I can have all the chooks I want without anyone telling me to get rid of them...okay just about anyone!

We raise cows, we of course have quite a few horses. Milkcows of course, and of course I raise chickens/guineas/peafowl etc.
Some people freak out when they come to our ranch, b/c it's so out in the country, but I wouldn't have it any other way!
They can't understand why on earth we want to live out in the middle of nowhere (the boonies)..what I can't understand is how they can possibly live in the city?
